Must be “Stage 3″ season!!

13 03 2008

Darren stopped by after he had a BUNCH of work done to his Mk4 Jetta GLI 1.9T - no, that is not a typo!! This motor has been bored out while receiving fresh, upgraded internals and larger turbo so an APR Stage 3 reflash was necessary. We had a chance to get a shot of the engine bay. You can’t help but notice the APR Motorsport Intake Manifold and Bahn Brenner Fuel Rail… An incredible amount of work!!



APR Stage 3 Install: Fertig!!

6 03 2008

It’s done!!  Scott will be by tomorrow to pick up his “new-again” Mk5 GTI now that the APR Stage 3 install is complete. 

Prior to completion, we fitted the car with APR’s Stealth Turbo-Back Exhaust (remember his car was bone-stock when he dropped it off) and the subtle growl is absolutely a perfect combo with this turbo kit, and a necessary upgrade for the bigger turbo. 

Out for it’s first drive…

The car will be back though - upgraded brakes and clutch are certainly in order as the new-found power will easily wear on the stock clutch and fade the brakes quickly.  We’ll keep you posted with Scott’s plans when he returns. 



APR Stage 3 Install: Final Stages

5 03 2008

We’ve fitted most of the parts from the APR Stage 3 kit over the weekend. Our technician was ambitious enough to come in after hours to continue the build and we were ahead of schedule.

We hit a snag on Monday however when we found that a replacement for a missing part from the kit went missing on its way to us from Alabama.

This has unfortunately halted the completion of this project but we have been over-nighted a second replacement part from APR which arrived early this morning.  We anticipate to continue and wrap-up this install tonight or early tomorrow once the ECU gets flashed.  Almost done, Scott!!
